MATLAB: Anyway to call matlab function without bracket

Question

Hi:

the usual Matlab function need to be called like: function(input), but I noticed that some function such as 'save', can be used like: save a a

so my question is, is there anyway to call a Matlab function like: function input

Thanks!

Answer 1

yes it is possible, but you cannot assign the result to a variable, I leave you an example:

function c=sumexample(a,b)
if ischar(a)
    a=str2double(a);
end
if ischar(b)
    b=str2double(b);
end    
c=a+b;

this function can be called in both ways:

sumexample 4 5

and

sumexample(4,5)
